The 2021 Los Angeles Angels season was the 61st season of the Angels franchise in the American League, the 56th in Anaheim, and their 56th season playing their home games at Angel Stadium. The Angels were managed by Joe Maddon in his second season as manager of the Angels. They play their home games at Angel Stadium as members of Major League Baseball's American League West Division. On September 21, the Angels were eliminated from the postseason. This was the seventh straight season without making the postseason (the third longest drought in team history) and the sixth in a row with a losing record (the worst span since the 1971-77 seasons).
The season was also the first for play-by-play commentators Matt Vasgersian and Daron Sutton who assumed a split role after the departure of Victor Rojas. The Angels parted ways with Sutton midway through the season.[1]
Previous season
The Angels finished the 2020 season 26–34 to finish in 4th place in the AL West division, missing the playoffs for the sixth consecutive year.
